Status Update… or what happens when you start pulling the thread

Ok, I know, I said I would implement sound, and I swear I started, but I can explain what happened and why I’m still without sound. For each kind of data (i.e textures, materials, loaders, etc) I had a manager. Each manager was a singleton, and after coding the Sound manager I said “Dude! I [...]

Status update

Two status update on the same day? GOSH I’m crazy! The world is ending! Penitenciagite! :P I’ve just followed shash’s advice and implemented frame interpolation. Obviously it didn’t work the first time I tried, but the second. As always I’ve recorded the progress so you can enjoy and laugh. Implementing frame interpolation was really easy [...]

Status Update

As I said on my last post, I was pursuing animation, and guess what: I have it! Even when I haven’t implemented frames interpolation yet the animations look funny. So let’s start with the usual postmortem of what went wrong. First I started parsing the md5 anim files, and guess what I don’t like it [...]

I was following David Henry’s tutorial [...]

Status Update

Shadower, the first incarnation (and lucky for all of us now is dead, buried, burnt and… everything) of this engine used several external classes (that is not coded by myself), [...]

Status Update

Yesterday was a happy day :) As I stated in my previous post, I hadn’t tested any of all the code i had written, so yesterday (and the day before yesterday, and in fact the whole weekend) I was commited to test the loader and the shiny new math library. Obviously it had bugs, several [...]

Status update

Well, interesting times…. I’ve just removed a dependency :) GLM Math library is an excellent templated library, honest, use it if you want power and a nice syntax. Unlucky for me, I was using an old version (from 2007 IIRC) and it had several bugs. I decided to update the library to its last version, [...]

Back from the graveyard

After a long period of inactivity, i’ve just decided to resurrect my components based engine. The first thing i’m going to do is remove as many dependencies as possible. Stay tuned! Toni
